Not To Be Negative...

My list:

1. Hands. We've got to catch the ball. Cooley and Moss both had a few drops in addition to their great receptions last night. I'd love to see Carlos Rogers get a few practice reps catching the ball. He puts himself in great position but just can't make the catch. That's huge.

2. Jason Campbell's short-medium range accuracy. Seems like he has a tendency to fire the ball a little high and outside on the shorter routes. That could very easily cost us some points if corners start jumping the routes.

3. QB pressure. We got close ALOT last night, but didn't get as many sacks as we could've out of it. Some will probably say that McNabb is a mobile qb and that's why he was able to elude the pressure. I disagree. Last night, McNabb was not all that fluid and wasn't pulling away from anyone. I think our dline just has to adjust their technique a little bit to turn pressures into sacks.

What did you see?

I would like to add one more thing that I hope you dont take negatively.

PASS COVERAGE. Look, McNabb was inaccurate as hell last night. But that does not take away from the fact that he had recievers in a open spot in the defense. If he completed half of the passes he made these poor throws on, the outcome of this game may have been much different.
The press coverage was great and had McNabb running for his life. But when the defense switched to a zone coverage, there were open recievers.

McNabb was WAY off his game and over/under threw a majority of his targets.

There are better passers coming up in your schedule then what you saw last night, and those QB's will HIT those targets, unlike McNabb.
